[PATCH] Allow pickaxe and diff-filter options to be used by git log.

[Sean <seanlkml@sympatico.ca>]

Handle the -S option when passed to git log such that only the
appropriate commits are displayed.  Also per Junio's comments, do
the same for "--diff-filter", so that it too can be used as an option
to git log.  By default no patch or diff information is displayed.

Makes sense.  This patch should cover that case too.
